��IC�1 To: Roseville City Council Cc: Neal Beets From: Craig Klausing Date: February 4, 2004 Re: Twin Lakes Stakeholder Panel Date: 02/09/04 Item: 7 Tw i n Lakes Stakeholder Panel Council: Please bring your copies o fthe �Eira[�nnb_ Community: Please note that applications are o n the City's website at www.cityofroseville.com After reviewing the recommendations from individual council members I have prepared the attached list of suggested appointees. In making these recommendations I took into considerationthe following factors. First, 1 included the names of all individualswho were the choice of a majority of council members. For example, Andy Olson was the first or second choice of four council members. His name is therefore included as a recommendationto serve from the Northwest/Brenner neighborhood. Second, where there was not a clear preference among the council members (e.g., no more than two council members selected a particularindividual) I recommended appointments so that every council member had roughly the same number of his or her choices on the panel. As it worked out, no council member has more than nine choices on the panel (Kough and Maschka) and no council member has fewer than eight (Klausing, Ihlan and Schroeder). Third, I made sure that every council member had at least one of his or her choices in every one of the groups. This is the reason I recommended Larry Johnson for one of the East of Fairview appointees (he was one of Councilman Schroeder's choices) even though he was the first or second choice of only one council member. Fourth, I took gender into account in making my recommendations. Although there are still twice as many men as women (9 versus 4), this is a reflection of the fact that the pool of applicants consisted of roughly three times as many men as women (21 versus 6). Fifth, I have expanded the number of "at large" members from 1 to 2. I have done this for several reasons. First, by doing so everyone's choice for the "at large" member has been appointed. Second, because we do not have a full contingent of Twin Lakes' businesslproperty owners, we could handle this additional appointment. Third, it is my belief that given the size of this project and its effect on the city, there ought to be at least as many "at large" members as there are members from each of the various neighborhoods. Sixth, I have also recommended adding an additional small business member. As with my recommendation concerning the expansion of the "at large" group, adding an additional person means that everyone's choices for this group are appointed. Also, because we do not have a full contingent of Twin Lakes' businesslpropertyowners, we could handle this additional appointment. Finally, at least one of the applicants is close to, if not exactly in, the Twin Lakes area.
